Give your tropical reptiles and amphibians naturalistic light with the Reptisun Compact Fluor 5.0. Deliver essential UVB to support calcium use and bone health, while gentle UVA encourages appetite, activity, and brighter daytime behaviors. Screw it into a standard socket and light the habitat without extra gear or complicated setups.
Key Features
- Balanced UV output: Provide 5% UVB for calcium metabolism and 30% UVA to spark natural behaviors.
- UVB-smart glass: Rely on UVB-transmitting quartz that pushes beneficial rays where your pets need them.
- Easy installation: Screw into a standard threaded socket; no separate ballast required.
- Flexible placement: Mount vertically or horizontally to fit hoods and clamp lamps.
- Cool-running design: Add healthy light without overheating the enclosure; pair with a heat lamp for basking.
- Full-spectrum look: Brighten colors and visibility so you can observe natural daylight routines.
Applications
Set up day lighting for tropical species that thrive under moderate UVB, such as chameleons, anoles, day geckos, and many tree frogs. Position the lamp above a screen top with no glass or plastic blocking the rays. Start around 8–10 inches from the primary basking area and adjust based on species care guides or UV readings.
